Here a tag, there a tag, everywhere a tag tag.

I've been tagged not once, but twice this week for memes. So, here they are, both in one post:

Middle Name Meme- I was tagged by Sharon over at The Bird's Nest. Here are the rules: 1. You have to post the rules before you give your answers. 2. You must list one fact about yourself beginning with each letter of your middle name. (If you don't have a middle name, use your maiden name). 3. After you are tagged, you need to update your blog with your middle name and your answers. 4. At the end of your blog post, you need to tag one person for each letter of your middle name. (Be sure to leave them a comment telling them they've been tagged and that they need to read your blog for details.)

M- Mommy. My favorite job title. :)

A- Artistic. Hey, I was an art major, after all.

R- Republican. Those of you who know me IRL know that I've come full-circle from being a Democrat to now a Republican-- blame my DH!

I- Ill. At the moment, I'm home sick from work, which is rare since I only work two days a week. I can't shake this sinus infection and didn't think I'd make it through a morning of meetings coughing on my co-workers.

E- Energetic. Most of the time. (Swiped that answer from Sharon, LOL!)

I was also tagged by Traci @ The Beady Queen for this 4 Random Things meme. The rules to this one are short and sweet- name four random facts about yourself, and then tag four more bloggers to do the same.

1.) I think I've been sick with colds/flu more often this winter than in any past years. :(

2.) I love to shop at Goodwill and other thrift stores.

3.) I really want to try beading/ making jewelry, but I haven't yet because I can't afford any more expensive hobbies right now!

4.) I love to do swaps and write snail mail letters.

Ok, so I'll throw some other tags up here and let the tag-ees pick which (or both) meme they want to do. So, Sarah, Mayogi, Kim, Shera, Katy, Sharon, Traci, and Alisha.... you're all tagged for the meme of your choice. ;)
